Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder a further six. She deliberately injected babies in her care with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two with insulin. Her crimes make her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.

We hear from two journalists covering the case and the ten month long trial, the BBC’s Judith Mortiz and Caroline Cheetham, host of The Trial of Lucy Letby podcast.
